...provision has been made to circumvent the regulation which prevented the acceptance of a candidate unless he is already in the military service. Students now-registered under the draft law will be given the necessary papers from the Coast Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Va., then inducted by the local board and sent to the artillery school and there assigned to a special company, where they will be given preliminary training till July 6. Students not registered should come to Fort Monroe at their own expense and enlist. They will then be assigned to the special company later...
...this jesting is local, which is something very pleasing, and moreover decidedly intelligent--a great deal to say of a humorous paper in these days when Life exists only by virtue of fat Germans and suffragists, when Puck is little more than Semitic propaganda, and when Judge is pabulum for the barber-shop devotees.

And all this time nothing is really done. The men endure, the work goes on, but it drags and every day the call from the other side is more insistent. This is something that no Y. M. C. A., no Knights of Columbus, can handle: neither State nor City can do it, only the Government...
